Can You Really...?

Can you look at my face without thinking of the past?
About how it ended, when it could have last?
When you see me smile, hear my laughing tone-
Would you still be happy with all you now condone?
Can you remember my touch and feel my soul there -
Knowing I'm without you in the world somewhere?
Can you see memories flashing by of the nights?
The days, the romance, the love and the fright...
If you felt my hand upon you would you not shudder?
Can you feel as strongly as you did about me for another?
If I put out my hand would you take yours away?
Can I still lean on you through my every weak day?
Can you not feel the love in my arms that embrace?
Can you not see the love in my eyes, in my face?
Can you leave behind your past and believe your future will thrive
When the person- the heart- is still quite alive.
Can you hear the voice speaking and not fill with hate
For all those that destroyed the journey of fate.
Is it possible for you to never think back
Remember the love you earned- What you deserve, but now lack.
Can you tell me what you feel is really guilt -
When the place you are at is what YOU built?
You ran away from something so now you can pretend
Will you never think "what if" it had worked out in the end.
You took all the trust, all the love and with one call
You said so little but ended it all.
You severed two lives, broke a soul and a heart
You showed your true colors - Who you were from the start.
When you marry another, will you not think of me?
In the arms of another - As alone as can be?
Your decision was abrupt but did you decide -
That you can live your life without me by your side?
